ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Rivet Education devises simple, practical, and scalable strategies that promote excellent instruction for every student in every classroom, every day. Our work is driven by our core values — equity, quality, and an unwavering commitment to students and teachers — and increasing access to high-quality instructional materials and aligned professional learning.

Specifically, we support education leaders in creating successful strategies to scale the use of high-quality instructional materials by:

• Providing a roadmap for high-quality curriculum implementation—who should be doing what and when
• Evaluating Professional Learning Providers

Launched in August 2020, the Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG) is a free national database of professional learning organizations that provides curriculum-based professional learning services aligned with high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). Schools and school systems use the PLPG to help them find partners to support their HQIM adoption and/or implementation.
